What was I thinking....that's why I ruled out head gasket originally...duhhh.

So it's got to be the lower part of the cylinder. Tests to date have been done with a torque plate installed. They did do magnaflux and not sure on the dye test. Will mention the sonic and dye tests as I want to do everything I can before putting it back together. BTW, the cylinders on the affected side are sleeved, so wondering what the implications are toward the idea of the wall being too thin. I assuming the sleeves would address that, and the engine was already .030 overbore and that wasn't changed in the rebuild.
Thanks!
